Very fun and casual! Also I this is the first game I've seen with slippery movement where it actually improves the game feel, congrats!

Thanks! I spent quite a bit of time tweaking the physics and I'm happy with how it turned out. I loved your game and am rooting for it to make the top 100 :)

Very nice game. Simple and unique concept well executed. I really like the score multiplier based on how close you are to the white ball. It adds a good risk reward dynamic to the game and motivates the player to move.

This is so cute! And well designed. I really enjoyed being the 8 ball and I can see the potential of this being a multiplayer/local player game where you play against your friend etc. Nice pixel graphics too!

Thanks so much! I like your idea, and we may potentially continue working on the game after the jam :)
